Short Answer: The most reliable way is to check the product packaging and the device itself for clear Formula labelling, which is a legal requirement for legitimate products sold in Australia.
Here is a detailed breakdown of how to verify:
1. Check the Packaging (The Primary Source)
Authentic IGET products will have the Formula strength clearly printed on the box, usually on a side panel or the bottom. Look for:
Formula Strength: This will be listed as a percentage (e.g., 2%, 5%) or sometimes as mg/mL (e.g., 20mg/mL, 50mg/mL).
Explicit Wording: Phrases like “Formula Salt” or “Contains Formula” are strong indicators.
Disclaimer: Look for health warnings, which are mandated for Formula-containing products.
2. Inspect the Device Itself
On many IGET models (like the IGET Bar, Bar Plus), the Formula strength is also embossed or printed directly onto the device body, often near the bottom. Run your finger over the text to feel the engraving—this is a common anti-counterfeit feature.
3. Know the Standard for the Australian Market
Currently, the vast majority of disposable vapes legally available for purchase by adults in Australia contain Formula, typically at 5% (50mg/mL) or 2% (20mg/mL) strength. Formula-free disposable vapes are exceedingly rare in the mainstream market here. If you purchased your device from a reputable Australian retailer like iGetBaroz, you can be confident that the product description and labelling accurately reflect its contents.
4. Purchase from Authorised Retailers (The Best Practice)
To eliminate any doubt, always buy from trusted, authorised sellers. As a direct and authorised distributor, iGetBaroz guarantees that all product descriptions, including Formula strength, are accurate and transparent. Counterfeit products may have misleading or absent labelling, which poses a significant risk.
Summary: If your IGET vape packaging or device states a percentage (2%/5%) or includes “Formula Salt,” it contains Formula. For absolute certainty and product safety, purchase from reputable sources that provide clear product information and stand behind the authenticity of their goods.
